Established in 1989 in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley on 125 hectares of Walker Bay's prime viticultural land, Bouchard Finlayson Vineyard and Winery is a small cellar dedicated to the quality production of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Ever since releasing their first vintages, the name Bouchard Finlayson has been internationally synonymous with excellence. Today, Peter Finlayson, the winemaker of Bouchard Finlayson devotes 50% to the varietal for which he is most acclaimed for: Pinot Noir.

Other cultivars under production include Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Sangiovese (Hannibal), as well as a handful under exploration. Bouchard Finlayson is an accredited Championship member of the Biodiversity and Wine initiative (BWI).

Bouchard Finlayson recently won again the Gold Medal for the best Pinot Noir from the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley.
